  • Wow Metro 6r4. Never heard of it just looked it up and it would give my renault 5 turbo a run for its money. 3 litre v6 450bhp in a car that weighs about as much as the driver image Crazy. I bet as rare as rocking horse poo though?

    I am lucky enough to have a Caterham.  Mine is a standard 1.6 K-series engined car, which is more than adequate for road going use.  I ordered one as a kit, took a year to build it, and got it road registered in 2008.  It is a great car, but can be incredibly frustrating as well.  Mainly due to the bad weather, I often consider selling it but whenever I drive it or just see it sitting there in the garage I know I would regret getting rid of it.  

    For me, builiding it was a big part of the Caterham "experience", as I wasn't mechanicaly minded in the slightest so it was a big learning curve but I did (mainly) enjoy it.  If I did sell it and later decided I wanted another one, I would buy one second hand I think.  I saw that the R500 was mentioned earlier in the thread, but I think it is too much for public roads, but would be a great track toy.

    This week, Caterham announced a new model which just looks like it's going to be insane!  310bhp from a 500kg car....

    Sounds like my front drive! The OH is absolutely obsessed with cars. He buys lot of cars to 'do-up' and sell on.... there seems to be a lot of buying but not a lot of selling image I think the last count was 16 cars

    His mini is one of a kind though... he put a Honda Civic type R engine into it... Driving that thing is like trying to wrestle a tiger into submission!

    My OH had a Trafalgar Blue Traveller years ago. They are great, except hers was in a very poorly way and ended up in the great carpark in the sky. I wouldn't say no to another one, but preferably working this time!
